Description
Baroque is an ornate style of classical music from roughly 1600-1750, characterized by elaborate melodies, harpsichord accompaniment, and intricate counterpoint. The music reflected the grandeur of European courts and churches during this period. Key features include strong contrasts in dynamics, ornamentation, and structured forms like the fugue and concerto.
